Blood Wedding Journal #2

Is style more important than plot?

For the play Oedipus, I answered that plot was more important than style. I stand by this answer, I think that plot was more important that the details of the way the plot was written. However, I do not think the same for blood wedding. I think style is extremely important in this play. Lorca uses a lot of symbolism and the play switches between prose and poetry. The poetry is more difficult to read and makes you pay more attention to the words being used. Blood Wedding is written in a more stylistic way than Oedipus or Wild Duck. Because of this it is more important to pay attention to the style used, and the style will be a contribution to the them of the play.
